Suggestion, Keep Your Steelies

[Don806]

I bought a set for my 22 and out them on during the winter months
Still have them for the 25 to do the same
Sucks that the sensors won’t work though

If they were just painted silver that might be ok, but that sparkle silver looks like you’re trying too hard,

Jerry, where did you get those center caps?

Homemade.. Thought I could just "Pop" them on... BUT, it didn't turnout. So, I did a DIY.

They have stayed on for two years now...

I keep my steelies and put one on for a spare after removing the doughnut. Enjoying my new rims.

Steelies and no don’t wrapped wheel is the reason I’d never consider an XL

I’m the opposite I would never buy an xlt. I think the ford rims are terrible. And the price over the xl I save I get the rims I want and the tires I want. Plus extra left for other stuff like tint.

I agree on skipping the XLT. I went up to Lariat.

I like steelies. I would have bought an XL except back when I ordered, cruise control was not available, and the information needed to install it was not available. So, XLT it was. I don't like the wheels on the 22 XLT that much that I would have paid extra for them, but they are what they are. I would have traded off the orange accents too.
I guess the two things I like most about an XLT are the power mirrors and ... never mind, cannot remember the 2nd. Cruise, I guess.

LOL

Fugly eye patches on the headlights and no physical HVAC controls are reasons I'd never consider trading my '23 XL for a '25 XL.

Neat. Glad we both have something we enjoy.

I do not know if this still holds true, but, traditionally, the steelies will allow faster tire wear, and are harder to keep in balance. Most custom wheels are a precision spin casting. They just perform better.

personally i like the look of the steelies.. vintage.

Steel wheels were a sign of poverty on vintage and antique cars. Trust me, when I say this, nobody fondly remembers steel wheels.

Best Regards

the steering wheel is one item that I wished was a little nicer on my XL. I also wouldn't mind if it was heated but I'll be fine!

Get a steering wheel cover?

I got XLT takeoff alloy rims from an MTC member and stored the original steelies under my front porch. You never know if you may need them.
